Kindness

We′ve built our stained-glass castles

Reaching to the sky

At our best to show your gloryAt our worst to show our pride

We've raised our hands in worship

And our fist to stake our claim

We′ve done so much good and so much harm

All in your great name

But when I think about what has

The power to change the world

It could all be said with just one word

Kindness

What if we lived with a heart of kindness

What if we loved like we've been loved

If that's all that we′re remembered for

Well, let that be enough

So, when they stand and tell the stories

Of who we are and what we′ve done

Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us

If they say just one word

Well, let that word be kindness

Let our hearts be quick to listen

And our lips be slow to speak

Let us wrap ourselves in mercy, compassion, and humility

We're reaching past the lines

That words like us and them have drawn

Knowing we′ll find common ground together at the cross

What if we lived with a heart of kindness

What if we loved like we've been loved

If that′s all that we're remembered for

Well, let that be enough

So, when they stand and tell the stories

Of who we are and what we′ve done

Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us

If they say just one word

Well, let that word be kindness

Kindness

I can forgive because I've been forgiven

And I can show mercy

Because its mercy I've received

It′s the kindness of my Father

That brought me back to life

And it′s his kindness that still brings me to my knees

I wanna live with a heart of kindness

I wanna love like I've been loved

If that′s all that I'm remembered for

Then let that be enough

And I wanna stand and tell the story

Of who you are and what you′ve done

How your amazing love would bring you here to find us

To rescue and redeem us in your kindness

Oh, let my life be

A reflection of your kindness

We can change the world with kindness

We can change the world with kindness

We can change the world with kindness
